I've downloaded and installed VADIS 2001 Edition F.
It installs without any problem, with the exception of the configurator,
which during the setup gives me an error (cannot find regsvr32.exe) but
apparently this should not influece a good installation.
When I click the icon on the desktop, I only get a white window, titled
VADIS and that's it.
Since it is 2001, I have thought that the reason might have been the OS, so
I tried first XP and then W2K, but I got the same result.

This edition should be "no expire", in fact, both warning and expiration
days are set as 999.

I was thinking, is there any services on my PC that being disabled might
cause the issue?

Finally, I found the reason of the problem.
Well, it was a very stupid one, but if you don't think about it, it can
become a pain in the neck.
I right clicked the VADIS shortcut on the desktop, hit the Shortcut tab,
Run: it was set to "Normal Window", I changed it to "Maximized" and clicked
OK.

Now it works perfectly, although I have not understood yet why it could not
open if set as "Normal Window".

I hope this will help some user who might face the same issue.

Cheers

A happy VADIS user :) :)
